  1. “The federal government will spend $4.7-billion to build and maintain more than 300 Via Rail passenger rail cars in Canada, using facilities in Quebec and Thunder Bay, Prime Minster Mark Carney announced Thursday.

    “At a news conference in the northwestern Ontario city, Mr. Carney said the move represents a shift away from importing trains from south of the border.

    “For too long, we bought from abroad what we were more than capable of building right here at home. We’re bringing that work back, and we’re turbocharging it,” Mr. Carney said in prepared remarks.

    In July, the Prime Minister announced $1.6-billion for the production of 45 new locomotives for VIA Rail as well as a new assembly and maintenance facility in Montreal.

    The new trains announced Thursday will serve Via Rail’s long-distance and remote routes.”

  6. Saab upping the ante for a Gripen order, first production line outside Sweden and will be built here in Canada, if it goes through. And Carney announced shift of rail cars and locomotives away from the USA and into to Canada with a $1.6B deal to start the ball rolling. I suspect that is a permanent loss for the USA. This is what happens when you stab your Allies in the back.

  7. For all the outrage over Apple and Google Maps changing Lake Ontario to "Lake America" and protesting the Americans, I find it interesting Canadians are going for MapQuest which is an American map provider instead of non-American options like TomTom or Here WeGo...

  8. RE: mastodon.social/@tultican/1172

    Hey fellow Canucks, it's not just Trump, it's Republicans, too:

    "As a gesture in solidarity with President Trump’s ongoing feud with our neighbors to the north, the Republican National Committee has revoked CBC/Radio-Canada press accreditation for the convention."

  10. @tod There's a second (publicaly-listed) #Canadian #Deltachat server as well: https://chtml.ca

    So for those with reservations that perhaps my lone server toque.im might go down, #Deltachat allows one to specify backup servers (which they call "relays"), and should one's primary "relay" go down, the second "relay" gets automatically used:

    Settings -> Advanced -> Relays -> Add

    A list of all public Deltachat "relays" is here (and those feeling a need for iron-clad assurance their service will never go down, can add as many "relays" as they like):

    https://chatmail.at/relays

  11. @tod I have a Deltachat server you could add to your list. I run it (I'm a Canadian citizen), and it's hosted on Canadian soil - a datacenter in **Ontario**, Canada (Edit: oops, I misspoke earlier).

    Registration is currently open. It's intended for Canadians. It's not intended for minors who are from places which insist on age verification.

    https://toque.im

    PS: I'm an #Infosec Consultant who's looked into the stability and reliability of various Open Source chat apps. Including hosting my own such chat apps. I can't take the social media app "Jami" seriously **in the way of stability and reliability**. There are several other #OpenSource competitors which have more reputation, users and mindshare. Please think again, or at least do some thorough testing of your own, before you list a Jami server.

  12. Canadian shoppers, the website onlineshoppers.ca has a store directory section which explains the ownership history of many of the retail companies operating in Canada. I've been reading about the Zellers comeback, Giant Tiger's franchises, and Canadian Tire subsidiaries and brand names.

  20. I can’t help but feel disheartened seeing this on my Etsy dashboard:

    I’m down 50% in sales from last month. It’s because of tariffs/trade war forcing me to turn off all shipping to the U.S. - I’m not alone in this, it’s affecting thousands of Canadian businesses. 🇨🇦

    I worked so hard over the last year to turn my shop into a success. I have 280+ 5-star reviews, and have sold over 1.1k items. I was on track to be able to independently support myself. As a disabled person, this hits even harder. It’s incredibly difficult to support ourselves in this economy.

    I’m honestly heartbroken.

    So we're going to have to wait for Trump to die then?

    Here's another one to add to the list, for the bakers. Parchment paper, manufactured in France, then converted and packaged in Canada.

  27. I feel sorry for people in #NewOrleans whose livelihood depends on #tourism to #Louisiana , which is being increasingly boycotted thanks to ‘Squeaker’ #MAGA #MikeJohnson and the cowardly lyin’ Senator #BillCassidy.

  28. @SocraticEthics The #UnitedStates had to ‘make nice’ with #Belarus because the principal soure of #potash for #American #farmers has been #Canada which has its #ElbowsUp 💪 and is selling to other buyers in retaliation to #TrumpTaxes on #Canadian exports into the #USA. fertilizerdaily.com/20250224-w

    It’s one thing for farmers in #RedStates to not be able to sell their #Soybeans for a profit. It’s another to not be able to GROW them!
